    Pyelonephritis is an infection of the upper urinary tract, specifically the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis. It can be acute or chronic, with acute pyelonephritis considered uncomplicated if caused by a typical pathogen in an immunocompetent patient with normal anatomy. Misdiagnosis can lead to serious complications like sepsis or renal failure. Risk factors increase susceptibility to infection or reduce the body's response. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, pain, and changes in urination. Diagnosis considers symptoms and rules out other potential causes. Nursing interventions aim to relieve pain and promote comfort through assessments, medications, exercises and education over 4-5 hours.

    Pyelonephritis

    > is an infection of the upper urinary tract, specifically the renal


    parenchyma and renal pelvis 
    . Acute pyelonephritis is considered uncomplicated if the infection
    is caused by a typical pathogen in an immunocompetent patient
    who has normal urinary tract anatomy and renal function.
    Misdiagnosis can lead to sepsis, renal abscesses, and chronic
    pyelonephritis that may cause secondary hypertension and renal
    failure. Risk factors for complicated acute pyelonephritis are those
    that increase susceptibility or reduce host response to infections.
    Symptoms:

    Nausea
    Vomiting
    Loss of appetite
    Fatigue and weakness
    Sleep problems
